Truckerswife1, I've been with LAX for 5+ years, Buffalo voted the union in but I have no idea if there is a contract yet. Company owners are not keen on the union. For the rest of the terminals, starting pay dropped from $18 to between $16 and $17 per hour. They are also trying to put line haul drivers on a mileage pay, .37cents per mile. The company went from a great company to work for to a lousy place to work. We are still on a 5% pay cut, and no one knows just what the top rate is, it was $20 per hour for trailer drivers, right now most of the drivers that have been here awhile are at $19 per hour. Tandem drivers get an extra $20 per night no matter how many times you make and break. The health Insurance they have right now as far as none union terminals is awful, I don't have it as many of us can't afford the deductibles, I had to go on my wifes plan, and the VP of operations isn't on it either. The deductibles are like $3500 for single, $10,500 for family (yes you read it right), then it's an 80% - 20% split, and you are paying a weekly amount. If I were you, I'd check with a Buffalo drive and ask some questions. I can only tell you about the non-union terminals, I haven't heard anything about a change in Insurance. As soon as something breaks I know a lot of drivers that are going to get out, as I will be. I hope this has been of some help, but do check with the Buffalo drivers, as well as Union Hall to see where things stand between LAX & the Union.
